Project Management For Continuity - 2006-2009

Whilst being an announcer for Five , as Five didn't have a Continuity Manager, before one was appointed Gavin was asked by the Head of Department to oversee and manage the continuity set-up for two new digital channels: Five Life and Five US. It was a big project to undertake and listed below are some of the things Gavin achieved in this role:

Auditioned and found a range of new voices to match two new unique brands set by the Marketing Director. This included the first US announcer in the UK.

Developed a conversational style of Double Headed continuity - “Convinuity” which Gavin produced each week.

Originated, developed and helped produce the Five Life Channel Launch.

Continued to assist Continuity Manager with day to day department issues and creative scripts and briefs.

Designed, advised new work flow processes and operational systems for the new channel which involved liaising with transmission facility. This continued with regular meetings and communications.

Then in 2007, Gavin helped search for new voices for the rebranded Five Life as FIVER and designed a comprehensive guide and training process for new announcers.
